It was after the tragic, and shocking, assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Vance said that President Trump sat back in his chair and said, “Man, he fought very hard for us, didn’t he?”

President Trump’s reaction was the same a lot of us had.

It’s obvious how deeply affected he was by the loss of Charlie.

The murder of Charlie Kirk truly rocked the nation, and continues to do so.

Take a look at some of these replies to Vance’s story:

We were all stunned.

It was the most horrific thing any of us had ever seen. Charlie was the best of us, and he was taken in such a brutal way…

RIP, Charlie.

You will never be forgotten. Not by President Trump or any American patriot.
